Re: Tokyo: Trip Report
My friends and I got back from Tokyo a little while ago. Here are some fun things we did:
Asakusa Temple: Cool temple with a lot of souvenir shops leading up to the entrance. You have to switch subway lines somewhere, but it is a cool place to go people watch and do some shopping.
Meiji Shrine: In Harajuku, if you are there on Sundays, you can see a bunch of Goth kids hanging out outside.
Shibuya: There is a statue of a dog near the subway station, it is the major meeting point in Tokyo. It is right by this massive intersection where there will be the most Japanese people you have ever seen in your life crossing every time.
You're right about Japanese people not speaking English. We got lost so often, as there are not really any addresses for anything. Even when we had a map, it was really confusing. Hope this helps.
